Reflating Japan : Time to Get Unconventional? /

Japan has ambitious economic goals: 3 percent nominal growth; 2 percent inflation; and a primary budget surplus.

Model simulations suggest that, combined, these proposals would make headway towards the goals, with, on balance, a better chance of success than the more unconventional policy alternatives proposed by Krugman, Svensson, and Turner from a risk-return perspective.
